A must watch pro-life documentary that will not only challenge you but change you.

Your view on abortion will never be the same!

Watch 180 - Turn 180

In this documentary, Ray Comfort(a committed Evangelist) draws an interesting parallel between the Holocaust and abortion, the 'Modern Holocaust'. This comparison is not only a very valid point, but one that cannot be easily dismissed or ignored; above all, it is a thought-provoking comparison that is bound to impact the audience in a remarkable way; God has used this documentary to touch and change many lives already.

Mr.Comfort not only draws out strong Biblical evidence to strengthen and validate his arguments, but also uses simple ubiquitous illustrations to help us analyse and evaluate for ourselves, the purpose and pain surrounding abortion.

If you think nothing can change your mind on abortion, think again!

Although '180' approaches the issue of abortion in a challenging way, abortion still remains an issue that is highly debated - ethical debates concerning individual, exclusive situations continue to baffle many Christians and medics. In situations where we lack discernment, one can only turn to the one and only reliable source of all advice and comfort, God. Remember, only God's will prevails and He is ready to help any who seek and cry out to Him earnestly.

"Get yourself ready! Stand up and say to them whatever I command you. Do not be terrified by them, or I will terrify you before them."

What a powerful command! Reflecting on this verse, my own hesitation and fear, while proclaiming the Gospel, was brought to light.
We, as Christians, have been given a task - the task of testifying to God's grace and proclaiming the Gospel - a calling to be harvesters in God's field(our world). By letting our fears and hesitation get in the way, we are not only proving to be inefficient workers, but also diminish God's power and strength that is readily available to us.
If we read the chapter further, we find out that God strengthens Jeremiah and gives him the assurance that He is always with him, thus, he will not be put to shame.

Shouldn't this verse challenge, strengthen and encourage us to stand up for Christ and get to work?! Remember, if we don't do it, God can always find someone else to do it, however, we will have to pay for our inefficiency, fear, distrust and hesitation.

What are we waiting for! Lets get to work; we've got souls to win for Christ!

I have fallen in love with the book of Isaiah. It not only expresses the profound nature of the Bible through every single verse and prophecy, its also one of the most Christocentric passages I have ever read. Every verse points us to the Christ, the purpose and message of the Cross and the result of the greatest act of love. Below is Isaiah 53, my soul was truly filled with awe and wonder as I pondered on what this passage said; this is only one of many great chapters in the Bible that truly challenge the unbeliever and strike the believer with awe.I do not have much to say about this chapter as its very self explanatory, if you read it just once or over and over again, you still will not be able to digest the beauty and depth of this chapter...
